I'm not in debt any more but my motivation for money saving is to leave university with savings rather than debt (except student loan). Currently I have £600 in savings (since I changed my ways a few months ago, cut back, payed off debts and started saving) but I will ideally have more than that when I graduate in July. I want to feel that I have a bit of money saved to help me do the necessary to break into my chosen career after uni. Finding a job and beginning a career feels stressful enough without worrying about money too. The relaxed feeling I have when I know I have savings in the bank is what motivates me!

Well done, you'll thank yourself for not having the pressure to find the right job straight away; even a couple of months of unemployment can really break you :T

My goal is never ever to have to live in the absolute poverty that I did as a child. Being brought up where the bread line was something far better than where we were, it's a good motivator for ensring you don't end up there yourself.

My motivation is to buy our first home. Got married last year and before this we both spent money without thinking, had expensive wedding and then expensive honeymoon.

I love this site though and know that when I'm debt free I won't resort back to my old ways.. I actually think about what I spend now and love the feeling of being in control..

Would eventually like to have some savings but still be able to afford a nice quality of life.
